Are you in NJ? He is still popular with taxpayers here, and if you see the state we are in you’d understand why.
I can see five homes for sale from my house in northern NJ; people have wizened up to the fact that we just rent our homes from the teachers’ unions, and everybody wants out (including corporations/employers footing those bills with us). Christie easily won re-election here, and ever since has been the target of a 24/7 smear campaign by the enemedia. He was being “trumped” by the media even before Trump himself was; people will really appreciate him when we get another tax & spend liberal in November. Americans are already evacuating NJ in record numbers, and we have to import foreigners just to keep housing, classrooms, and Wal-Mart aisles full. It is about to get much worse, which is terrifying in a state where there has been no economic recovery (we haven’t even hit bottom yet). The limited gains in a few towns in the northeast of the state are more than offset by the near-total collapse of just about every other area...
Yes, I am in Sussex County in the People’s Republik of NJ. Christie is not a Trump. I used to like Christie, but now I feel he has transformed into a buffoon. About 3 years ago, he started acting like he was the king of NJ. The recent “bad beach optics” just reinforces that vision and will ensure a democrap governor will take control this November.
When people in Shewsbury had legitimate concerns when one of Christie’s buddies opened a drug rehab center next to an elementary school, he shouted at the crowd, “Much better than you have yelled at me over the last seven and a half years and Ill ignore you just the way I ignored them”. It is just his arrogant attitude that burns me.
